With proper care, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can last just as long as your natural teeth. However, in some cases, a tooth may not heal as expected or may develop new problems months or even years after the initial procedure. Persistent discomfort, infection, or new decay can compromise the success of the original treatment. When this happens, endodontic retreatment may be necessary to give your tooth a second chance.

During endodontic retreatment, the tooth is reopened to remove the previous filling material and carefully examine the root canals. Any additional or previously untreated anatomy is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed once again. Advances in technology and technique allow us to perform retreatments with high precision, helping to relieve discomfort and preserve your natural tooth. Our goal is always to maintain the integrity of your smile and avoid more invasive options like extraction or implants whenever possible.
